Summary

Feedwater heaters and associated systems cause significant loss of availability and efficiency in both nuclear and fossil-fired power plants. Most losses can be corrected by improving design, materials, and operation & maintenance practices. This seminar provides the fundamentals on feedwater heater technologies enabling attendees to more fully participate in the improvement of feedwater heater operation, maintenance, design, performance, and manufacturing.

Goal/Expected Outcome

The Seminar is designed for anyone who wants to learn more about the fundamentals of feedwater heater technologies. It is presented as an introduction to the technology for early career engineers or as a refresher course in the various aspects of feedwater heater technology for experienced personnel.

Who Should Attend: Power plant staff members, engineers, utility managers, manufacturers, engineering consultants, and research scientists involved in improving feedwater heater reliability and performance, plant life extension, and plant operation and maintenance should participate.
